Hi:
my father was put in tarceva (NSLC stage 111b) without receiving any chemotherapy, for the last two months. The last scan done yesterady shows the cancer growth has stopped and the tumors have started to shrink. He has severe side effect with rash , hair loss and severe shortness of breath. Because of his shortness of breath he is unable to walk more than couple of feet. He is in 150mg per day dosage. We have an appointment with his doctor next week. Any suggestion what we should tell his doctor? Also I have read that TARCEVA typically stops working after 8-12 months. Anybody knows anything about this.
I am very scared. Any support is highly appreciated
